Divine Servitors
Much like Incarnates, Divine Servitors are a sort of modified god. They hold the rank of weakest type of deity by technicality if nothing else.
While Incarnates are strong but few in number, Servitors are weak but many.
All Divine Servitors possess the same stats and skills.
Divine Servitors start with a single point in a single stat. They have two points to distribute between skills.
Additionally, all Divine Servitors have a Flaw, such as an Undine's intelligence handicaps or a Watcher's difficulties interacting with the physical.
Servitors may not use miracles or other mote expending actions.
Example:
UndinePower: 1
Water Life (Passive) (1): Like their creator, Undine are amphibious and capable of surviving within any part of the ocean.
Brawlers (Passive) (1): Their distinctive style of rough and ready combat is highly effective.
FlawUndine are rather dim, possessing the intellect of a small child. Tricking them is incredibly easy. Also: Their singing has been known to be confused with dying cats.
Heroes
A Hero is simply an exceptional entity. (It is important to recognize this, as Heroing something is basically a way to raise them from the faceless mooks.)
For the most part Gods can not become Heroes (See Below)
A Hero has plot armor, in that they can't be easily offed without permission from their controlling player. They also receive a single one rank skill.
While most Gods can't become Heroes, Servitors can have this distinction. A Heroic Servitor is simply an exceptional member of their class. They can gain a one point skill, advance one of their skills or use the skill point to remove their Flaw.
Auda Draemar Sorceress
Archmage (Passive) (1): Auda holds decades of magical skill and knowledge
Bio: Currently known as one of the Council members who rule the Magocracy.
Artifacts
Items of mighty power.
An Artifact is equivalent to a two rank skill.
A Divine Artifact is equivalent to a four rank skill.
Gods may wield two of either kind.
Mortals can not typically wield these items of power, but Heroes may wield a single artifact without trouble.
Races
Created, intelligent beings. Often numerous rather than powerful.
Rather than potent Skills, Races possess Abilities.
Unlike Skills, they do not have ranks and must fit a narrow range of possibilities.
They may be...
1) An affinity towards a particular activity, such as Crafting or Fighting.
2) Some sort of internalized magical trick, or ability, such as Night Vision or Water Breathing.
3) Something that could be replaced by an item, such as Hard Skin (Replaceable with armor)
Further or more powerful abilities require a fundamental drawback or flaw within the race.
Most Races have one or two Abilities.
Draemar Hardened Skin: Draemar have skin like a weak armor.
SeafolkWater Survival: Seafolk are part fish, and survive easily within most of the ocean. They, however, are unable to survive normally on the surface or the depths of the ocean.
Mythical Beings
Powerful Non-Divinities.
Mythical Beings are powerful, often intelligent creatures. The Expectational (See Above) among them can even challenge Demi-Gods with small hope of success.
They have four skill points and three abilities.
Cecaelia Water Survival: Cecaelia can easily survive the shallows.
Magic Affinity: Cecaelia are naturally adept at illusion and shape-shifting magics.
Octo-Body: Cecaelia have translucent skin and octopus tentacles. They may control their skin pigmentation in a way that allows them to camouflage themselves. However, they also lack most of the bone structures common in other races, which causes them to be unable to safely exit water without magical assistance.
Shapechange (Active) (2): A Cecaelia can take the form of any mortal race, gaining their physical traits and abilities and loosing their own. This ability is considered magical and can be countered as such.
Probing Intellect (Passive) (1): Cecaelia may learn any type of magic that can be learned.
Identify (Active) (1): Cecaelia may divine the magical powers of any item, creature or spell.
Religions
A Religious Sect loyally serves a god or gods.
The relationship between a God and Order is primarily symbiotic.
The god receives an additional mote every two days and some loyal servants; the order receives the protection and blessings of a god.
However, orders are not necessarily eternally loyal and a god who neglects his may find them wandering off- or being poached by another deity.
A deity may not receive motes from more than one order, but may have as many orders as they can adequately manage. Unless severely neglected, all priests of an order are assumed to be wholly loyal to the god they serve.
“She'd become a governess. It was one of the few jobs a known lady could do. And she'd taken to it well. She'd sworn that if she did indeed ever find herself dancing on rooftops with chimney sweeps she'd beat herself to death with her own umbrella.”
